what will you do to speed up your 2000?

Goodaday
what will you do to speed up your 2000?

OS: win 2000

I have defragmented my C drive.
I have uncheck "Allowing Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching"
coz i doesnt use it.
I have clean done disk cleanup
I have scanned spybot and adware
I have clean up my cookies folder
Clear all event from Event viewers

As suggested, remove unwanted items from startup.........like the MS Office toolbar, FindFast (can't remember if that ships with 2K?)

If you only connect to the internet periodically for discrete sessions ( I mean, you are not permanently connected, or frequently looking things up etc.) then you can possibly turn off your software firewall, and only activate it when you need it. Same goes for pop-up stoppers.

Make sure you are only running one firewall and AV product at any one time.

Defragment in safe mode, so a lot of things that are normally active/locked get defragmented.........classic is the AV pattern file.

If you have been loading and unloading a lot of software then compacting the registry hive can help.

Uninstall any time expired trial software as it may be trying to phone home or send you a nag message.

Check what you have running as scheduled tasks, and consider re-scheduling or running them manually.

Kudos CXGJarrod

CXGJarrod, i couldnt have said it better, this util is excellent and i've been using for a long time now! Kudos to you on that one! the program is fool proof, and i really like the fact that this util does not have you restart the computer , this util also works in other operating systems, as a way to get around the M$ restart hassle :-D
